That's what I did today. That's sad.
At my first appointment I was supposed to have blood drawn. I told the stand-in NP that I was a hard stick. She chuckled. I bet everyone tells her that. A couple fishing expeditions later I walked out of the office with a band-aid and a rescheduled appointment for this Friday. Use my neck next time! It wouldn't be a first.
Insult to injury -- I had to fast for this appointment. I hate fasting! And yesterday was Fast Sunday! I was generally in a bad mood today. Too much fasting, and headaches due to too much travel.
Fast forward to the post meridian, and I'm on a bus for one earth hour out to Sibley for the second most invasive medical procedure I've ever experienced in my life. After enjoying that fresh hell, I shared a bus stop with three harmless but toffee-nosed tweens -- two girls and a boy -- who spent 20 minutes talking loudly and excessively about jailbreaking their iPhones and how much they loved flip-flops. Then the boy started giving one of the girls the business because she goes to a charter school --
'You might as well go to public school! Ha, ha, ha!'
'We aren't connected to DCPS! We're in charge of ourselves!!!'
Yeah, yeah, CAN IT!
The bus doesn't take me all the way home, so I opted for a cab ride in rush hour traffic instead of barfing on the metro. Headache. Thirty earth minutes, t w o m i l e s, and $15 later I made it home.
Now I'm sitting in my underwears and watching Curious George on public television. I just ate a tuna sandwich, and now I might wash my hair with vinegar in the dark.
The Man in the Big Yellow Hat is a prancing idiot.

Curious George gives me high blood pressure, I can't take the chaos that ensues when he's around...I don't find that funny.
I'm sorry about the invasive procedure, but now I'm curious as well.
Eek, a blood draw in the neck sounds frightening!
oh dear. This all adds up to a very un-fun day indeed.
A blood draw in the neck! Goodness, I hope it doesn't come to that.
Thirty minutes to go two miles! That is just wrong.
Today just has to be better than yesterday!
He looks like he's fig-leafin'-it in that pic. What a pansie-boy to let a monkey rule his life. Aye aye aye, I hope people don't think the same of me when I'm out in public with my own monkeys, er, children. :/
